Hell impressive, more and more people spending more and more for GPUs in PC gaming at a world wide financial decline and with the worst state of Game releases in the last 2-3 years.

The milk tastes so sweet when you go from $129 GTS450/$149 GTX550 series to $249-299 1060, from $199-249 560/560Ti to $379-699 1070/1080. The usuals still are ignorant to NV GPU history using flawed arguments of comparing different generation flagship 780Ti to 2 generations newer 1060 in some twisted argument to justify how GP104 is not mid-range. If NV released GTX460/560/560Ti first and purposely held back GTX470/480/570/580, those GF1x4 cards would have been flagships/high end? What a joke of an argument. NV brand marketing BS at its finest.

By definition, the flagship GPU in a generation is the largest die and the fastest series of that generation. But NV knows a huge chunk of its customer base is blind and brand biased so why sell the flagship Kepler 780Ti, Maxwell 980Ti and Pascal 1080Ti when you can milk them 2-3 times in the sam generation with brilliant marketing (680->780->780Ti, then 980->980Ti, then 1080->1080Ti/2080Ti, etc.)

What used to be $350 GTX570 straight up became $1200 Titan X ePeen with double the VRAM of the "respective equivalent" 570 chip series. If NV launches 3328 CC 1080Ti for $699-799, this would be akin to releasing $289 560Ti 448 core.

Anyone who thinks NV didn't simply manipulate marketing names by changing GTX660/660Ti into 670/680 and kept going is delusional. Meh, thanks to mining I am chilling with multiple Polaris, Hawaii and Pascal cards. Oh, that sweet free milk, one day you will end but not before NV launches GP102 -- THE real Pascal flagship. I guess the loyalists who dropped $700 on mid-range 1080 can't handle the truth. It must be emotionally painful to admit one dropped $700 on an upper-mid-range videocard. Miners don't care for marketing BS since we got our cards for free.

Can't wait to see $139 GTX1050Ti turd outselling the far superior $165-169 RX 470 by magnitudes of times, further proving that brand and millions of dollars prevails above superior products. DongleBook Pro and Beats say hello to NV.
100% true.

Money making is an art Nvidia excels at these days. If they can convince people to buy their products at higher than ever prices it's due to good marketing and performance that match expectations.

I'm impressed, wow

Good post, but comparisons are typically done year over year.

yep, NVIDIA managed to grow units y/y even when it was transitioning between Maxwell and Pascal. The growth has accelerated now that it's all fresh Pascal product being sold.

On top of that, AMD helps them the best they can the last 2 years.

I mean NVIDIA released GTX 1050Ti a 75W TDP card at $139 and AMD instead of releasing a WX5100 75W TDP Polaris 10 desktop counterpart at $149 that would annihilate GTX 1050Ti, they just lowered the RX 470 prices.

NVIDIA wouldnt be able to release a Polaris 10 75W TDP competitor because they have the GTX 1050Ti at $139 and GTX 1060 3GB at $200. Releasing a 75W TDP GP106 would cannibalize its GTX 1050/Ti sales meaning they would sell a GP106 card lower decreasing their margins.

AMD is not aggressive the last years, they need to create a better product than NVIDIA in order to make a Woooowwww effect. A 75W Polaris 10 at $149 would be a big start for people starting speaking about AMDs perf/watt/$ again and recommend their cards against NVIDIA.
I mean they want to increase their market share but they dont compete in the high-End 75W territory, bad bad moves lately in that department.

It is only about performance and power consumption. Shadowplay, lower CPU overhead in DX11, geforce experience, VR performance matter as well.

Nobody pays attention to those in the $100-150 segment, except for Shadowplay perhaps. In the 75W TDP segment the vast majority of people care about perf/W and perf/$. DX-11 CPU overhead is non existence because you are always GPU limited with those cards. VR is not even a consideration for the 75W TDP $100-150 users.

I forgot to mention this earlier, so no matter the reasons, I would like here to congratulate NVIDIA for reaching the 2B mark in revenue. This is an achievement worth congratulating and shows that PC gaming is very profitable but we as consumers would really benefit more from higher competition.

TY to all the Founders.
I think its combination of few factors:
1-AMD sucks.Since 7970 they have worse Perf/mm2 and perf/watt.Nv was abble match 7970 with GTX560 successor and sell it for 500USD and create 1000USD GPU and double all rest GPU prices bellow IT.It continue since then(some GPU like GX104 are now almost 3x price since this shit starts)
2-AMD have terrible dx11 driver and didnt fix it until now.
3-NV fanboys will buy NV cards no matter of price.But those are not all people buying NV hardware.

I am 100% sure if AMD compete like good old ATI like have vega before GP102 and sell it for 400-500USD and have also lead in perf/mm and performance.There is no fu**** way Nvidia will release GTX1080 at this name for 700USD or cutdown GP 102 as TITAN at 1200USD no fu**** way
GTX1080 would be GTX1060 and cost 250-300USD.Also full GP 102 would be already out and sell for 400-500USD as GTX1080.There would be no record margins for Nv almost every quarter since kepler.

For example, a GTX 780 Ti was a "high end card" a few years ago.. What is it now? Midrange at best, when you look at the performance.
You're trying to reinterpret definitions here. A 780Ti still is a high end card from a few years ago that happens to have the same performance as a current mid range card. Mighty difference in wording here. You wouldn't relabel an old Corvette to "compact car" either just because one can get a current gen compact car with its performance.

Same thing with a GTX 1080. A GTX 1080 to me is considered a high end card today because of its relevant performance, and NVidia's pricing reflects this. It cannot be considered a midrange product.
That I agree on. I'd rather say Nvidia removed the tri-/quad-SLI super enthusiast grade and instead moved their product stack up to fill that hole. The 1080 is not a small chip, it's right around the same size as G92. Chips larger than that had only been introduced with Fermi, which isn't that long ago.

Kudos to Nvidia. I am pretty sure given the revenue forecast for next quarter that Pascal is killing AMD. I would not be surprised to see Nvidia GPU market share go back to above 80%. The writing is clear on the wall. Compete or die.

Corvette is a sports car. There is really no performance standard that makes a car a sports car. Only the intention of the designers. So whether the car is brand new or 25 years old, what it was designed to do is what it is. There is no performance standard for highend dGPU either. Nvidia designed the 1080GTX to be the highend for this generation based on how it performs vs the competition and other GPU's in the product stack. So that's what it is regardless of what you the consumer thinks.

probably 500USD x70 part and 800USD x80part mid range GPU.

WHy would you say that, looking at the history of Nvidia gpu's and their prices, it should be around $400 for a x70 part and 250$ for mid range. Prices have been about the same for 5 or 6 years.
I went back and listed the prices of past gpu and their tier of performance. Now we can put this, "we are paying more " stuff to bed.

Exactly this! Anyone, ANYONE who thinks differently is unfortunately BLIND and too much of an Nvidia blind follower to use logic and reason to understand this simple and basic concept!

GTX 1070 should be today's midrange and should cost $250, the 1060 6GB should be $180, 1060 3GB should be $160, 1050ti should be $120 and 1050 should be $100. The GTX 1080 should be $350 and the 1080TI which will be released after Vega should be $500 with the Titan X being a premium card at $800-900.

Those are the real prices and real ranges of graphic cards.

agreed. definitely true. Both companies are out to make a profit. Nvidia is successful while AMD is not. AMD sold CPUs worth USD 1000 when they could during the glory days of Athlon 64 and Athlon X2. Today they cannot. Similarly AMD tries to sell USD 650 GPUs. But they cannot suceed against Nvidia whose products are better in every aspect - perf/watt, perf/sq mm and surprisingly even in perf/$. 980 Ti OC thrashed Fiji when both launched and beat it in all aspects.

dont look at marketing name.Look at SKU name.
Midrange SKU/full.GTX560TI cost 250USD
GTX680 is GTX560TI successor -500USD
GTX980 is GTX560TI successor - 550USD
GTX1080 is GTX560TI successor -700USD

BIG/HIGH-end SKU/full
GTX580 cost 500USD
GTX780TI is GTX580 successor -700USD
TITANX is GTX580 successor- 1000USD
FULL GP102 will be GTX580 successor(they selling cutdown sku for 1200USD now) no successor out yet.TITANXP is close to GTX570.BIG cutdown sku.Only its cut less this time.

for x70/cutdown part:
midrange SKU
GTX560 cost 200USD
GTX670 is GTX560 successor -400USD
GTX970 is GTX560 successor -330USD
GTX1070 is GTX560successor -450USD
GTX770 is full GK104SKU renamed GTX680 this is not GTX560 successor

BIG SKU/HIGH-END cutdown
GTX570 cost 350usd
GTX780 is GTX570 successor -650USD
GTX980TI is GTX570 successor-650USD
TITANXP is GTX570 successor-1200USD

EDIT:some prices Added.

If you bought nvda around Pascal's release date in May 2016, you'd be up about 50%.

Not to be "that guy," but if you bought AMD at that same time, you'd be up a little under 200% at this time. You lose out on dividends, cause AMD, but you'd have roughly 1/4th or 1/6th the number of shares of NVD at the same investment, so I doubt it would cover the difference.

You only need to look at the die sizes not the names of the products.

But good on Nvidia for sucessfully creating extra tiers and making moar money,and getting even enthusiasts confused about it.

That tells you they not only have decent products but excellent marketing too.
